Football: West Ham defeat shows long way to go for Chelsea, admits Lampard

LONDON - Frank Lampard said Chelsea's capitulation to lose 3-2 at relegation threatened West Ham on Wednesday is a sign of how much work he still has to do to make the Blues title contenders once more.

Michail Antonio then put West Ham in front early in the second half before Willian's free-kick brought Chelsea level once more. "I wouldn't say it is the story of our season because it's been a good season, but there have been so many of these moments," said Lampard, whose side had won all three of their previous matches since returning from English football's three-month shutdown due to coronavirus.

However, Lampard believes his side have to be far more consistent than they have shown during his first season in charge. Moyes was unhappy when Tottenham's opener in a 2-0 defeat last week was allowed to stand despite a handball in the build-up.West Ham's win was the first for any side in the bottom five in 30 games since the Premier League's restart.

Moments later it got even worse for the hosts as Christian Pulisic was chopped down by Issa Diop and Willian confidently dispatched the spot-kick.
